Online Forms - Question about the dates

Made it to step 4 - filling in the info re: creditors.

I'm not sure at all about the dates I took my loans/credit cards out as its years old.

Do you have to be accurate on this info?

    You need to try and be accurate but not exact. If you just put the year thats fine. They're just ascertaining how your debt built up.

    i had to guess and i never got asked again i think its more likely to raise the eyebrows of the OR if you just took a massive loan and then went BR.

  • Thanks. I managed to dig out 5 year old loan paperwork and some of it has no dates for the agreement at all so I am having to guess

    Morning..... :j

    I got a copy of my credit report from Experian. I paid £2 for a one off copy but you can get a free one by signing up and then cancelling it afterwards ( i think Don79 did this).
    It gives all the dates and stuff.
    Good Luck

    You know what, I did the free Experian credit check ages ago. I completely forgot about it though.

    Thanks
